Optimizing the thermal connection of a closed loop to the earth is the single most important factor affecting heat pump performance. At Thermonexus, we focus on one thing; the Earth.
 
Drilling industry experience and expertise matters. Few drillers and even fewer HVAC contractors have the knowledge of the subsurface that our team has. Our multi-disciplinary team of geologists, thermodynamic engineers, and material scientists work with HVAC installers, architects/engineers and drillers to define ground conditions and utilize advanced ground heat exchangers to achieve optimum design and installation.  

 

Advisory and Oversight Services

 

Investment and Risk

No, this time it's not about Wall Street.  Your ground exchanger field is likely to be your biggest investment and your biggest risk in geothermal and; it lies under the ground and out of view.   No one is certain what will be encountered once drilling begins and any circumstances that arise need to be addressed.   The ground exchanger boreholes are the critical component of the geothermal system.  You only have one chance to get it right.

How can you be sure if it is being done properly?  Do you know what to look for?   In today's economy, driller's are under strong competitive pressures.  Some excel and some resort to shortcuts. Can you tell which one is on your project?

 

Integrity,  Independence, and Experience

That's what Thermonexus brings to the table. 

• Our integrity gives you the peace of mind knowing that you have a trusted partner to give you the straight answers. 
• Our independence gives you the comfort on knowing that your best interests are at hand, and that quality will not be compromised.  
• Our experience gives you the security to to know that  those uncertainties that lurk underground can be identified and managed before they become a costly problem.

 

We work for you in a variety of capacities to bring your project to success, and our involvement is crafted to your specific needs.  

• Advisory - Drilling might not be your area of expertise or you might be new to geothermal.  We can assist  with site evaluation, job planning, or driller selection.  We can also provide ongoing technical support to increase your knowledge and assist you with resolving issues as the project gets underway.

• Oversight - Quality control - Maybe you don't have the time or resources to monitor the driller, or you might not know what to look for.  We also provide on-site inspection services to observe key steps in the process to insure that the work is being done according to plan.   We can also provide testing equipment to verify the driller's work.

 

We do what works for you.

 

Why is the earth connection so important?

The efficiency of a Ground Source Heat Pump is driven by two important variables:

1. Entering water temperature (EWT)
2. Quantity of water flowing across the heat pump coil.

Both of these are directly impacted by the performance of the ground exchanger field.  If the boreholes are constructed improperly, or parts of the field are air bound, your system is already in trouble.  Once it is buried, and the installation crew is long gone,  you face a difficult and expensive fix.                                  

It pays to do it right the first time.
